Thanks to four years of responsible, common-sense leadership, the Adams administration leaves behind a city where working-class New Yorkers can still get ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Mayor Adams commemorated his administration\u2019s historic accomplishments with a time capsule buried near City Hall. The time capsule \u2014 which includes objects selected by each senior leadership team to represent their work over the last four years\u00a0\u2014 will be opened in a decade.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe took office with a simple promise: to \u2018Get Stuff Done,\u2019 and, four years later, our administration can say that we delivered on that promise every day for working-class New Yorkers,\u201d said\u00a0Mayor Adams.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe drove shootings to record lows and pushed jobs and small businesses to record highs. We rewrote the playbook on homelessness and mental health to finally get New Yorkers living on our streets the help they need, and, after decades of half-measures, passed historic housing legislation to turn New York into a \u2018City of Yes.\u2019 We overhauled the way our students learn to read and do math, cut the cost of child care, and forgave medical debt. We eliminated taxes for low-income families and launched free universal after-school programming. We got scaffolding off our buildings, trash bags off our streets, and opened up new public spaces for New Yorkers to enjoy. The haters may have doubted us, but the results are clear. On issue after issue, we brought common-sense leadership to create a safer, more affordable city, and our work has changed our city for the better; it will stand the test of time because we made New York City the best place to live and raise a family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEWYORK: New York City Mayor Eric Adams and leaders across city government celebrated four years of historic accomplishments under the Adams administration.
